Use both stacked and grouped Bars in one Plot

Hi,

I would like to plot my data like this:

I want to stack the two blue Bars and group blue, grey and green.

The data I want to use is in the attached file in

out.emissions.today{:,[7, 10,12,13]} of which 10 and 12 should be stacked.

I found this function written by a user, but I don't understand how I could insert my data into the function.

Maybe something along these lines. Adjust as necessary.

load out

figure('Position',[1 1 1000 400])

N = size(out.emissions.today,1);

h_s = bar(out.emissions.today{:,[10 12]},'stacked','BarWidth',1/3,'XData',(1:N)-1/3,'FaceAlpha',0.5,'EdgeColor','none');
h_s(1).FaceColor = [0 0 0.5];
h_s(2).FaceColor = [0 0 1];

hold on

h_us = bar(out.emissions.today{:,[7 13]},'BarWidth',1,'XData',(1:N)+1/6,'FaceAlpha',0.5,'EdgeColor','none');
h_us(1).FaceColor = [0 0.5 0];
h_us(2).FaceColor = [0.5 0.5 0.5];

legend({ ...
    'THG-Emissionen der Stromerzeugung (351 g/kWh)', ...
    'THG-Emissionen durch Leckage des Kaltemittels', ...
    'THG-Emissionen der Biomassebereitstellung (12 g/kWh)', ...
    'Gesamt-THG-Emissionen'}, ...
    'Location','SouthOutside','NumColumns',2,'Orientation','Horizontal')

Awesome, thanks a lot!!

Could you give a short explenation to what you are doing with 'XData' in these two lines (so I can learn and not just copy ;))?

h_s = bar(out.emissions.today{:,[10 12]},'stacked','BarWidth',1/3,'XData',(1:N)-1/3,'FaceAlpha',0.5,'EdgeColor','none');

h_us = bar(out.emissions.today{:,[7 13]},'BarWidth',1,'XData',(1:N)+1/6,'FaceAlpha',0.5,'EdgeColor','none');

The default XData of a bar plot is 1:N, that is, 1 through the number of bars (in this case 1:29). I shift the XData of the stacked bars to the left by 1/3 and shift the XData of the grouped bars to the right by 1/6 in order to get them to line up properly with each other and with the XTicks of the axes.

Alright, I understand. Thanks!

You're welcome!
